Revival M•05 — Curated Companion™ Revival Edition

Description

This male Chihuahua was born on 14 May 2025. He is a deep chocolate colour, rich and unreal, with eyes that do not match the rest of him. They are pale and translucent, grayish, like thin layers of water over stone — the kind of eyes that make you pause, because you expect darkness and find something ghostly instead. His ears are enormous, with tufts of hair that stick out like stray thoughts, giving him the look of a creature misplaced from another universe.

He walked out of the travel crate on his own, and for a moment it looked like he would be easier than the others. He was not. He is, so far, the most shut down of them all.

When a hand approaches, he collapses inward — no sound, no fight, no movement. He simply folds into the farthest corner of the playpen, shaking, eyes wide and silent, refusing water, refusing food, refusing every invitation the world gives him. He is the only one who still will not drink. The only one who shows no interest in food at all. His body is here, but the rest of him has not arrived yet.

He does not bark. He does not howl. He does not growl. He does not resist. He just watches — silently — with those strange, transparent eyes. Sometimes he stands, briefly, as if remembering the idea of motion, but it fades quickly and he returns to stillness.

He looks magical, otherworldly, almost ethereal. But right now, he is a dog dropped into a world he does not understand, trying to survive by becoming as small and quiet as possible. What he becomes once he steps out of this fear state is the question everyone is waiting to see answered.

Revival Story

This dog is one of seven Chihuahuas in the Curated Companion™ Revival Edition. All under one year old.

They were not raised as pets. They received no handling, no socialization, no exposure, and no preparation for real life. They lived in breeder kennels with zero human processing and zero environmental learning.

Once the early sale window closed and new litters came in, these dogs were simply left in cages — untouched, untrained, and completely unprepared for normal daily living.

No structure. No learning. No contact. Just confinement.

Trained for Life™ removed them from that static existence and placed them into a structured system designed to give them a functional starting point for an actual home.

Temperament & Behaviour

Intake reality:

• Came out of the travel crate, but immediately shut down afterward
• Severe fear profile — shuts down at any human approach
• Presses into the farthest corner of the playpen and becomes motionless
• Shaking continuously; refusing food and refusing water
• The only Revival dog still not drinking water voluntarily
• No barking, no howling, no growling — fear expressed as stillness, not fight
• Attempts to eat pee pad, paper, and plastic bathroom pan when overwhelmed

Early training observations:

• Stands briefly in the playpen before collapsing back into stillness
• Monitors humans with silent vigilance
• No acceptance of food at intake; work ongoing
• No water acceptance yet; monitored closely
• Fear expressed internally, not through vocalisation or aggression

Ongoing monitoring:

• Water and food acceptance patterns
• Response to slow, controlled human approach
• Ability to leave corners and occupy open space
• Chewing and ingestion of non-food items under stress
• Handling tolerance and recovery speed
• Initial environmental exposure ability

Training — Revival Program Foundations

Revival dogs complete foundational training within the Trained for Life™ system. This program is not about formal obedience; it is about functional integration from zero.

• Precision Leash™ groundwork from a blank starting point
• Early exposure to the Invisible Leash™ concept
• Playpen structure for clean, predictable confinement
• Designated indoor potty routine
• Handling tolerance work (touch and movement in controlled steps)
• Grooming exposure (touch, basic tools, controlled restraint)
• Interrupting unwanted behaviours and redirecting into structure
• Environmental training introduced in controlled increments
• Safe carrying protocols specific to small-breed handling

He progresses at his own pace. All updates are based on what actually happens, not on targets or promises.

Health & Veterinary Screening

Intake examination: coming soon
Final examination before placement: coming soon

Vaccinations, parasite control, and any recommended diagnostics will be documented and shared with the buyer exactly as recorded by the veterinarian.

Placement & Logistics

• Based in Asia — regional placements are simplest
• International placements available with in-cabin flight nanny (advance lead time required)
• Optional U.S. partner-trainer handover available as a premium service
• Travel crate, export documents, and handover planning coordinated by Trained for Life™
• Placement by application only to ensure correct match and long-term stability
